+<p><i>James Dempsey</i> for the PCGEN Team -- 31 July, 2011.</p>
+
+
+ <h2><a name="GMGenIssue">GMGen Known Issue</a></h2>
+
+ <p>There is a known issue with GMGen when used on a Macintosh. In the Initiative
+ Tab when running a combat when you select any character other than the one whose
+ turn it is and click the Damage or Heal buttons the character whose turn it
+ is becomes selected and the damage is applied to him instead of the character
+ which had been selected.</p>
+ <p>A solution has not yet been found but fortunately there is a simple work-around.
+ The problem will only manifest when using the System Look and Feel, you can
+ change the Look and Feel by going to Preferences/Appearance/Look and Feel and
+ changing it to Java before activating GMGen and then it will work as it should.</p>
+
+ <h2><a name="Installation">Installation</a></h2>
+
+ <h3>Prerequisites</h3>
+
+ <p>Java 5 or Java 6. PCGEN 5.17.8 is not compatible with Java
+ 1.4.x and it is NOT SUPPORTED. To get the latest version of Java, go to
+ <a href="http://jdl.sun.com/webapps/getjava/BrowserRedirect?locale=en&host=java.com">java.com</a>.
+ Note also that PCGen does not work with Java 7 at this time, however this is being addressed as part
+ of the work on the new user interface.</p>
+
+ <h3>Important Warning</h3>
+
+ <p>If you have custom data created using either the LST Editor, or the my_dataset example files, it is
+ very important that you read the <a href="http://pcgen.sourceforge.net/autobuilds/pcgen-docs/installationpages/upgradepcgen.html">Upgrading PCGen</a> documentation before
+ installing your new version of PCGen.</p>
+
